A distraught mum today spoke her upset after the sudden disappearance of her 'very vulnerable' 16-year-old daughter.
Talented pianist Caitlin Somerset has not been seen since she went missing from her home in Kensington , Liverpool, at around Saturday lunchtime.
She told her dad she was going to a nearby cash machine.
The teen, who has been suffering from anxiety and depression, had left a note for her mum on her bed, which referred to her current low mood.
The former Academy of Francis of Assisi pupil has a mobile phone, but it appears to have been switched off.
Her bank cards have not been used.
Today, her worried mum Kaz Somerset, 36, begged for help to find her child.
The care worker told the ECHO: "Caitlin has never gone missing before.
"She's not a very sociable person and doesn't have a big circle of friends.
"She's usually a home bird."
The music student, who started a course at Knowsley College in September, sometimes frequents the city centre to play on the free pianos.
Ms Somerset added: "I thought she was doing ok.
"She seemed fine, I was trying to get her to open up.
"Caitlin can be very secretive, like with her phone...they [teenagers] don't let you in."
Her mum has contacted Merseyside Police and reported the 16-year-old as a missing person.
She said: "She said there was an incident in college that she was upset about the way she was spoken to.
"I'm distraught. I just want her back.
"Somebody must have seen her or walked past her in the street.
"Even if she wants a few days [to herself], I need to hear from her.
"It was freezing last night, and raining... I don't know if she's indoors or outdoors."
Caitlin has a baby sister, who is two, and two brothers, aged 19 and 13.
Her mum added: "Caitlin is a quiet introverted person. She doesn't get into trouble, or take drink or drugs.
"She's not very streetwise, I've always had to shelter her."
If anyone can help, contact Kaz on her social media, principally Facebook.
